Lye is already basic.
Sodium hydroxide is a compound.
K2O will react with water producing KOH , Lye, and produce heat.
Lye is the simple inorganic compound Sodium Hydroxide NaOH ... occasionally Potassium Hydroxide KOH is called "potassium lye" or "potash lye". A wax is an organic compound having between 20 and 50 carbon atoms arranged in a chain. The simplest petroleum waxes are alkane hydrocarbons called paraffins. The softest paraffin is C20H42, while C50H102 is a much harder wax. Natural waxes produced by plants and animals are more complex, and usually contain a few oxygen atoms along with a preponderance of carbon and hydrogen. For example, the main compound in beeswax is Triacontanylpalmitate and its chemical formula is C30H61CO2C15H31.
Lye is sodium hydroxide, NaOH. That's a sodium cation ionically bonded to the hydroxide anion. However, within the hydroxide anion, the oxygen and hydrogen are covalently bonded.

Sodium hydroxide is a compound.
element compound but usually a mixture since it absorbs water mass from air. usually 100% lye when opened turns into 99.99% lye due to water mass intake.
Sodium hydroxide is a compound.
A base.
Yes, it can be either sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.
Sodium hydroxide, or lye, does not have a charge. It is an ionic compound composed of sodium 1+ and hydroxide 1- ions. When they combine to form the ionic compound sodium hydroxide, the 1+ and 1- charges cancel each other and the compound is neutral.
